I don't think it should be valid outside a string. But PHP seems to see this different. The only reason i could think of. Is that the \ somehow is a registered symbol. So it throws a non fatal E_COMPILE_ERROR. Could be a bug. That's for the guys on internals to decide. I'd also expect a parse error. With output buffering enabled i still get the same warning on every request. > >> >> >> > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
